Putin says U.S. is a "parasite" on global economy

Does anyone have friends in Germany?

I do. Going to Cologne next week to visit them.
But they tend to dislike voluble but dumb young whippersnappers like PooperScooter.

Having worked most of the last 10 years in Germany I have quite a few friends here.
Some are even Germans.
I generally avoid the Brits if I can though some are all right.
I occasionally hang around with other contractors, one of whom put me onto this forum though he told me he no longer contributes.

It would appear though that they have nothing against opinionated blowhards, wholly devoid of charisma, with the physique of an anorexic whippet and the intellectual armoury of a boll-weevil.

Ah so you have loads of German friends too. Cool.

You voted for Mr Blair, what is this pot calling kettle black?

No, I did not vote for Blair as I only got right to vote later.

WHS. Other brits generally avoided. The ones who can't speak two sentences without mentioning WWII kind.

Mrs scooter and I have more connections / meet ups here than we would have at home, from all over the world. Opens your eyes to what matters in life, having such a network.

Grown out of drinking myself into a stupour and spending the weekend feeling I was let out of intensive care a day too early.

Something tells me he'll not be marking his love with Padlock on Deutzer bridge next week. Well maybe with 'something' but not someone.
